Since 1850, Brazil has released a total of 7.69 billion metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (GtCO2e) worth of nitrous oxide into the atmosphere. Nearly half of these emissions were released from 2000 onwards. Brazil ranked among the largest annual emitters of nitrous oxide in 2022. Agricultural activities, such as livestock farming, are the primary source of nitrous oxide emissions in Brazil.
Cumulative nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions in Brazil from 1850 to 2022
(in million metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent)
Figures were calculated by Statista according to the values provided by the source.
Includes nitrous oxide emissions from fossil fuels, industry and agricultural sources.
Nitrous oxide emissions are measured in metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (CO₂e), so are weighted for its 100-year global warming potential value.
